When you form an impression, your system dedicates its entire perception to substantiating this exact view. The senses become selective with what they register in order to achieve this certainty. This is an ancient survival tactic . . . "safety" . . . achieved via always being right. In today's evolutionary phase — by virtue of this neurotic survival mechanism — the deep subconscious mostly prefers being right to being happy. The reward system in our education facilities pounds this into our children's psyche, year after year after year.
We all have this core instability; it is an evolutionary sensation on which all other feelings are built. When the cover sensations become too numerous over time, this core sense is heavily distorted and masked. Your feelings become inaccurate, but you insist on certainty within the illusion and grasp for more illusion to increase this false certainty. Thus, the roots of greed and obsession begin to dominate. This is the 21st century and it is destroying the planet.
It is now time to move from this ignorance of the false known — to the wisdom of embracing the vast unknown. The long and winding road of physical evolution eventually returns home where our physical machine of work (our human body) becomes a refined instrument of worship. The next evolutionary phase will now take this instrument of worship and tune it to its highest harmonic frequency. Old attitudes and impressions — caught within your senses for ages — will become meaningless. This will be frightening and many in society will react with rage. Lend your time to gently accomplishing this goal within yourself and around your community. Never eat alone . . . associate with those who have your back.
When you cease seeing the objects in space and begin to perceive the oneness of place, the majority of your survival mechanism disappears. This requires more courage than urge. Gently, the connection between yourself and all else appears as if it was always there. This connectedness (for example) displays and perceives the branches and leaves of a tree — not as branches and leaves — but as tree. You begin to see the truth of what is . . . not what appears to be.
This is freedom . . . this is liberation. This will ultimately be the saving grace of humanity, but it will be resisted . . . so be gentle.

Draw New Maps of Your World Often
Remember when the world was flat? Ignorance created that flat world out of one that was perfectly round. Countless courageous adventurers embarked on tremendous explorations with thousands of navigational errors to turn that flat world into the round one that we enjoy and travel today.
What part of your world is still flat? What part of your world is still trapped in old patterns of ignorance?
Human beings have a few fundamental requirements known as Commons. These are the resources that are common and essential to life. They are earth, water and air for all life, and one other particularly essential to human life. Humans require freedom in order to develop hope; to set and establish their visions and perform the daily tasks in alignment with their dreams. Commons — including freedom — are essential to human life and are therefore sacred as a birthright.
Expanding human paradigms beyond the limitations of old fears requires the same enthusiastic explorations that turned the flat world round. How do you achieve this freedom and adventure in your world on a daily basis? How do you take charge of and enable your dreams by insuring that they can be accomplished with your skillset. Where do you step off the edge of the horizon — beyond the limits of old established fears — and sail forth into the lands of your inspirations?
See to it that you exercise this impulse daily. See to it that you draw new maps of your world often. See to it that you are the captain of you own ship. See to it that you cherish the Commons and exercise the Freedom that you were born to have. See to it that your world is round.

Where Do We Go Wrong?
'First, we think that to have a good relationship we need to be attractive, perfect, powerful, sexy, interesting, thin or some other long list of ways we measure ourselves and others. What is more important is that we listen and then we share our identity - our real self. The most powerful attractant is to be receptive and interested in our partner and in what is meaningful to them. The most powerful bond that we share our real self, from the heart, and create trust and tolerance between us.
Second, we must learn to manage negative feelings and consciously use positive feelings to work out any problems. The most deadly feelings to a relationship are projection of superiority over the other, non-responsiveness, defensiveness and constant criticism.
Non-responsiveness is a profound form of withdrawal when you frequently use defensiveness, or deflect input and avoid responsibility to take actions to improve or correct the situation.'
